•4 things ancient Greeks and Romans got right about mental health
70% Informative
Homer, the poet famous for the Iliad and Odyssey , apparently died after wasting away from depression.
Ancient Greek doctors recognized that our health partly depends on the state of our thoughts.
Our habits about our thinking (as well as our lifestyle, clothing and housing, physical activity and sex) are the main determinants of our health.
Doctors had their own approaches to dealing with mental health problems.
Caelius Aurelianus said people suffering from depression should do activities that caused them to laugh and be happy.
However, the ancients did not believe any single activity was enough to make our mental state become healthy.
The important thing was to make a wholesale change to one's way of living and thinking.
